Although she didn't know if An Miaoyi was really open-minded or if she was hiding a knife behind her smile, Bai Yuanyuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, walked into the hall and said to An Miaoyi very cautiously and respectfully:
"I have met Madam!"
Upon hearing this, An Miaoyi looked up and down at the beautiful, plump woman in front of her and said with a smile:
"I have been looking forward to meeting Sister Bai for a long time. When I saw her today, she is really a wonderful person. No wonder she can make my husband worried..."
Bai Yuanyuan, who was wary of An Miaoyi as soon as these words came out, couldn't help but feel nervous, and subconsciously said quickly:
"My thin figure makes Madam laugh. Madam is truly beautiful and fragrant. She and Lord Warlord are a match made in heaven!"
Hearing this, An Miaoyi just smiled and said nothing. At this moment, Qiqige came to Bai Yuanyuan's side with a cup of tea on a tray.
Seeing this, Bai Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment. She knew that some wives would deliberately use hot tea during the tea ceremony just to embarrass their concubines.
Although I don't know if An Miaoyi will do this, but things have come to this point, even if she knows that there is a tiger in the mountain, she has to go at this time. Bai Yuanyuan took a deep breath and immediately picked up the teacup from the tray with both hands, feeling the teacup Bai Yuanyuan's expression softened, and then she knelt in front of An Miaoyi and said with a low eyebrow:
"Now that I have entered the Ye family, I should obey my wife's instructions. I also invited my wife to drink tea before I could enter!"
Hearing what Bai Yuanyuan said, An Miaoyi's eyes flashed with an imperceptible strange color, and then she naturally picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then lifted Bai Yuanyuan up from the ground and kissed her:
"I have been waiting for my sister for a long time. Now that she is here, we sisters can finally gather enough people to play mahjong..."
Feeling An Miaoyi's attitude, Bai Yuanyuan gradually let down her guard against An Miaoyi. From An Miaoyi's words and various actions, it can be seen that even if she does not welcome her arrival, at least she should not be against anyone.
Although she was a little wary of An Miaoyi, Bai Yuanyuan knew that rules were the most important thing for people like An Miaoyi who came from a big family, so she still said cautiously:
"Madam is my wife, and I am my concubine. Madam, just call me Yuanyuan!"
When An Miaoyi heard this, she knew what Bai Yuanyuan was thinking and said with a smile:
"Sister Bai is too worried. Miaoyi is not the kind of woman who fights with each other. From now on, we will live together and take care of our husbands together. We should treat each other as sisters. My sister is older than me. Miaoyi should be called sister. Sister, you Just call me Miaoyi!"
When these words came out, Bai Yuanyuan was also a little confused. She didn't know why An Miaoyi was so kind to her. Although she was a little confused, she came from an official family and knew how to advance and retreat, so no matter what An Miaoyi tried to persuade her, she would Always insist on calling Mrs. An Miaoyi.
An Miaoyi could only express helplessness about this. Both parties had different opinions, and An Miaoyi called her Sister Bai, while Bai Yuanyuan still called An Miaoyi Madam...
The two parties then chatted for a while. Although Bai Yuanyuan's family background was not as prominent as An Miaoyi's, after all, his father had also been a fellow intellectual, and his two brothers were both fifth- and sixth-rank officials and were also from official families. Chatting with An Miaoyi When they were together, there were relatively common topics, plus An Miaoyi's intentional kiss, and Bai Yuanyuan's careful ingratiation, so the overall atmosphere of the chat between the two parties was very good.
After chatting for about half an hour, An Miaoyi glanced at the sky, then smiled at Bai Yuanyuan and said:
"Look, it should be time now. The old lady should have finished reciting sutras. Let me take you to visit her!"
After saying that, An Miaoyi stood up with the support of Qi Qige beside her. Bai Yuanyuan, who had just relaxed a little, couldn't help but become nervous again when she heard that she was going to see the old lady.
It seems that An Miaoyi is about to pass this test, but Bai Yuanyuan is still a little worried about Ye Cui's test. She wonders if Ye Cui is as easy to talk to as An Miaoyi.
In the past, Bai Yuanyuan didn't pay much attention to the Wang family because her natal family was strong, but it is different now. As the biological mother of Liaoyang Governor Ye Mingsheng, Ye Cui can be said to be the most respected old woman in the entire Liaoyang area. , her natal family, Bai Yuanyuan, is simply not enough to see...
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Yuanyuan asked An Miaoyi:
"Madam, does the old lady believe in Buddhism?"
"Well! Since my husband joined the army, the old lady began to eat fast, chant sutras, and pray to the Buddha day and night in front of the Buddha, so that my husband can be safe and sound!" An Miaoyi nodded and introduced:
After saying that, seeing Bai Yuanyuan looking a little nervous, An Miaoyi smiled and comforted:
"Sister Bai, don't worry. My mother-in-law is very nice. Don't worry, she will definitely like you!"
"Um!"
Hearing An Miaoyi's relief, Bai Yuanyuan cast a grateful look at An Miaoyi.
After a cup of tea, Bai Yuanyuan met Ye Cui under the leadership of An Miaoyi. She was quite disgusted that her son wanted a widow like Bai Yuanyuan to marry her. Although she was a concubine, Ye Cui, who came from a wealthy family, was quite disgusted. She felt that Bai Yuanyuan even Just being a concubine is a disgrace to the Ye family.
But Ye Mingsheng has already decided on this matter, so as a mother, it is not easy for her to stop her, but Ye Cui still has no good feelings towards Bai Yuanyuan, but seeing An Miaoyi trying to smooth things over for Bai Yuanyuan, Ye Cui didn't do anything. This is embarrassing for Bai Yuanyuan.
Regarding An Miaoyi as her daughter-in-law, although Mrs. Ye Cui was very satisfied with her family background and felt that she was worthy of her son, after all, An Miaoyi's reputation as the reincarnation of Baosi and her harm to the country and the people was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Mrs. Ye Cui could not avoid it at first. Some are worried that An Miaoyi will lead her precious son bad and affect Ye Mingsheng's future development...
However, An Miaoyi is really good at life, and it didn't take long to coax Ye Cui to be very happy. In addition, there is a common emotional bond like the Cui family, so Ye Cui is more and more fond of An Miaoyi. The more I watched it, the more I liked it. Now An Miaoyi is pregnant again, so she is even more precious in Ye Cui's heart, and she has become a treasure in Ye Cui's heart.
Although Mrs. Ye Cui did not make things difficult for Bai Yuanyuan for An Miaoyi's sake, this did not mean that she would give Bai Yuanyuan a good look. After drinking Bai Yuanyuan's tea, she let Bai Yuanyuan leave, leaving An Miaoyi behind. Came down for lunch.
Although An Miaoyi wanted to help Bai Yuanyuan, she saw that Mrs. Ye Cui really didn't want to see Bai Yuanyuan, so An Miaoyi couldn't force it, so she had to give Bai Yuanyuan a comforting look, and then asked Qiqige to give her a hand. Bai Yuanyuan found a good courtyard to stay in the governor's mansion.
An hour later, An Miaoyi, who had eaten a vegetarian meal at Ye Cui's place and watched a play with Ye Cui, returned to her yard.
Seeing An Miaoyi return, Qiqige immediately stepped forward to help her and said:
"Madam, I have already told Bai Yuanyuan in a roundabout way that it was Madam who asked for her life and allowed her to enter the house. Bai Yuanyuan was very moved and said that she must come over to thank you in person tomorrow. In addition, I have already prepared the hot water. Madam, you can take a bath at any time.”
"Um!"
After listening to Qiqige's words, An Miaoyi looked relaxed, smiled, held Qiqige's hand and said:
"It's great to have Qiqige by my side. You know what to do even if I don't tell you..."
Looking at the tired An Miaoyi, Qiqige said with some distress:
"Madam, why did you allow that bastard to come in and why do you feel so wronged about getting involved with her?"
An Miaoyi, who was told the central issue by Qiqige, did not pretend to cover up at this time. She sighed slightly and said:
"You can just talk to me, but don't say the same thing in front of others!"
Qiqige nodded and said:
"Madam, I know what's appropriate and I won't cause you any trouble!"
"Um!"
An Miaoyi felt comforted after hearing this. After resting for a while, An Miaoyi began to take a bath under Qiqige's service.
After her body entered the hot water, An Miaoyi closed her eyes comfortably. At this time, she seemed to remember something again, and ordered to Qiqige who was waiting:
"The clothes I changed into are stained with that Jian's scent. You can burn them quietly in a deserted place and then find me a new set of clothes!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Although she intended to enjoy this moment of peace, An Miaoyi couldn't help but think of Bai Yuanyuan.
As an An Miaoyi who has been educated in the traditional three obediences and four virtues, a good wife and a loving mother since she was a child, she is very disgusted and disdainful to women like Bai Yuanyuan who let loose and seduce other people's husbands. In this case, why would An Miaoyi take the initiative to ask Ye Mingsheng? , let Bai Yuanyuan get started, and win over Bai Yuanyuan to show goodwill to her like today?
All this stems from the sense of crisis that An Miaoyi feels. Ever since she discovered the portrait of Murong Qingwu hidden by Ye Mingsheng last time, she has always had a premonition that Murong Qingwu will enter the door of the Ye family sooner or later. , challenging her position, and as the pregnancy reaction at this stage became stronger and stronger, An Miaoyi's premonition became stronger and stronger...
An Miaoyi knew very well that this was not just a matter between her and Murong Qingwu. Behind Murong Qingwu was the Murong family, and the Murong family was the most powerful and powerful group in Guanzhong in the Great Zhou Dynasty today. representative!
Although An Miaoyi clearly knew where Ye Mingsheng's red line was, she was very sensible and never interfered in Liaoyang's government affairs or military affairs. Every time she interacted with the Cui family, she would ask Ye Mingsheng for instructions in advance and seek Ye Mingsheng's consent. She had never done anything that Ming Sheng didn't agree with.
But this does not mean that An Miaoyi does not know the movements of the Fengwu Army. She can feel that Ye Mingsheng has been seeking to enter the pass. Even if he sends troops to the palace this time, it is essentially just for the sake of Fengwu. The military enters the customs to clear away some worries!
An Miaoyi is still very confident about the husband she has chosen. She believes that Ye Mingsheng and Feng Wujun will be able to successfully enter the customs!
And if Ye Mingsheng successfully enters the customs, then Ye Mingsheng, who dominates Liaoyang and Youyan provinces, will definitely become one of the most powerful vassal towns in the Great Zhou Dynasty. With Ye Mingsheng's ambition, he will definitely be thinking about what to do. Sweeping the world, in order to win the support of more people, Ye Mingsheng will definitely contact the powerful people in Guanzhong and try to win them over...
Although the trick of marriage is old-fashioned, it has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years and people are still using it, which shows that it is still very useful.
As a noble daughter who has lived in Luo'an since childhood, An Miaoyi is very aware of the behavior of Guanzhong Haoqiang. If Ye Mingsheng really joins forces with Guanzhong Haoqiang, then Guanzhong Haoqiang will inevitably arrange one or more identities to protect his own interests. A young woman with a high status enters the Ye family and is used by Ye Mingsheng to spread branches and leaves.
Then the next step is to ask Ye Mingsheng to make their daughter his wife, ensuring that Ye Mingsheng's next heir has the blood of their powerful Guanzhong. This will basically guarantee that their powerful Guanzhong can continue to pass on, so when the time comes Even if someone doesn't want to fight, the power behind her will help her fight!
Although An Miaoyi knew that Ye Mingsheng was a hero, a strong man who spoke his truth, acted tough, and had iron-blooded skills, but she had seen many heroes and heroes since she was a child, and in the face of magnesium, steel was refined and turned into soft flesh. , not to mention someone like Ye Mingsheng who is not very disciplined in his life style?
Under the dual temptation of beauty and power, An Miaoyi has a big question mark on Ye Mingsheng's willpower to resist!
As the saying goes, if you don't worry about the long term, you will have immediate worries, so even if these things seem far away now, An Miaoyi must take precautions for herself and the unborn child in her belly... ····
Even though An Miaoyi has the Kunshan Hou An family and the Cui family as backing foreign aid, compared to the Murong family and the powerful groups in Guanzhong, it is still not enough. The reputation of the Murong family alone is enough to suppress them!
So since foreign aid is no match, An Miaoyi can only place her hopes on the Fengwu Army, and this is why she wants to show her kindness to Bai Yuanyuan. Although An Miaoyi is disgusted and disdainful of Bai Yuanyuan, Bai Yuanyuan is not alone!
Bai Yuanyuan has two brothers, Bai Changrong who serves in the army and Bai Changrong who works in the government!
Before these two people, Ye Mingsheng felt guilty about Bai Yuanyuan, so he helped Bai Yuanyuan's two brothers. The two brothers were quite successful. Now one is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Liaoyang Reserve Force, and the other is Le Lang. The government has made a judgment. Considering the lack of talents in the Fengwu military regime, as long as the Bai brothers do not make big mistakes, it is foreseeable that they will definitely develop greatly in the future under Ye Mingsheng... ··········
Therefore, An Miaoyi is not so much wooing Bai Yuanyuan, but rather she is wooing the entire Bai family, trying to make the Bai family brothers an important pawn in her rainy day plan!
